Could you tell me the estimated amount for whole year living expenses and if any scholarship is possible if I get recommendation from two designatory persons in India in UAE for a Master's?

Living expenses in the UAE for a master's student typically range from AED 36,000 to AED 84,000 per year (about ₹7.2 lakh to ₹16.8 lakh), depending on the emirate and your lifestyle. This covers accommodation, food, transportation, utilities, and personal expenses.

Many UAE universities offer merit-based scholarships to international students. Strong recommendation letters from two designated persons in India can strengthen your application, but scholarship eligibility and amounts depend on each university's criteria. For example, some universities offer partial merit scholarships covering 25% to 100% of tuition fees.
